I hired Matt Chandler for a case I had in Texas 2022. From the time I hired him he told me from A-Z the possibilities of my outcome. Every month he would message me an update about my case and would even message me back in a very timely manor. He worked on this smaller case very well as I feel he would do any other case he is hired for, 10/10 would recommend! His staff also is very kind and caring, would communicate well and upload documents needed to the portal fast! Hes the man to get the job done! Wouldnt have wished to pick anyone else for my case!

Matt Chandler was absolutely amazing to work with. He made me feel I was important, that my daughter was important. We weren't just a number. He took my case with confidence and comfort. Because he is so knowledgeable about the law. He listened and he responded quickly. As well as his Paralegal Erika and Sonja at reception. What an amazing team to work with!

Matt Chandler is an amazing lawyer. Got my case solved without going to court. He was amazing to work with and would even contact me on the weekends if the case had updates over the weekend. Amazing experience from start to finish. Will definitely use again if needed.

Hiring an attorney for a custody case has to be the most nerve wracking thing a parent ever has to do. Tray & his staff were always accessible. Tray has a no bull approach. He tells it like it is and doesn't sugar coat things which is exactly what you need. I feel they were conscious with keeping the expenses low. I highly recommend Tray & his team!

I am an attorney myself, and my mother had a real estate issue that was out of my wheelhouse. I had worked cases with Tray Payne before and knew he would be the perfect person to refer my mother to. I was not wrong. He was able to explain the situation to her better than I ever could, and to me as well. He provided excellent service to our family and helped us see the options before us. He did not try to take advantage of my mother by talking her into hiring him when it wasn't necessary. This is the type of attorney I strive to be like.

I retained Stacy Riker for divorce proceedings and she was fantastic (or as fantastic as a divorce lawyer can be). I had an idea in mind before hand what I wanted to do and she was great about telling me what my options were and the best way to deal with my particular situation. The hourly rate was also more than reasonable for the services and compared to other lawyers in Lubbock. They also communicate with you through a website so it makes it pretty easy send messages back and forth without having to play phone tag. After I used Mrs. Riker, I also had them do some other documents and overall couldn't be happier with their services. Would absolutely recommend to friends and family.

I am not exaggerating when I say, Lori has been such a blessing. She is an amazing attorney. She is very personable, professional and knowledgeable. I knew from the moment that I first sat down to speak with her, that I did not need to look any further, Lori was who I wanted to represent me and my daughter. She genuinely cares and looks out for the best interest of her clients/clients' children. She has continuously eased my mind through this extremely difficult and stressful time.
She is very prompt and thorough when responding back to any of my messages, answering my questions and addressing my concerns. She truly goes above and beyond! Not to mention, the staff at Payne & Truitt is very friendly and helpful. I highly recommend Lori!

In a situation that can be at times very emotional and nerve wracking, Lori brings a sense of calm to the table. Lori, also a mother of two, understands the true value of family and our children and fights for what is morally right and the best for children and their families, putting you first. I am very happy that I selected Lori Truitt as the lawyer to represent me and I would very highly recommend her for anyone fighting for their child's well-being, happiness, and safety.
With Lori you will not experience any feelings that she is just trying to put another "win" under her belt or that there's any conflict of interest, in my experience I felt that my family was her number one priority. Thank you, Lori and staff, for your dedication and compassion!

When I found myself in a very unpleasant, dark situation, Tray was there to walk me through the process and see me out the other side of it. He was always matter of fact about details, even the ugly ones, without being harsh or blunt and I never felt rushed and always left his office with all my questions answered. Tray exudes confidence without being egotistical or cocky and that's very difficult to find in his profession. I'm extremely thankful to have had Tray at my side and in my corner. I HIGHLY recommend him and his team!
